After a year bouncing ideas between my editor (Noah Eaker), agent (Betsy Lerner), and me, we hurled into a lightning round this week, including polling you followers on IG* we came down to two finalists. I approved both, but had a clear favorite.
Noah canvased within Harper Books (HarperCollins's flagship imprint), and he was the winner by a landslide, was my favorite and his:
The Secret Lives of Two Gay Soldiers Hiding in Plain Sight
I'd been circling in Plain Sight for a year now. Betsy finally worked it in with our other ideas, and changed the redundant Hidden Lives to Secret. Well done, Betsy.
I created a new temp cover just to show it, leaving the other behind. Hoping to see Harper's first stab at a cover soon.
But I've got work to do! Copy-edits back tomorrow (delayed).
*Thank you so much for all the people who chimed in with rankings of near-finalists and feedback on why.
